Americans finally getting back in shape... (re: Nautilus)

8

I first picked Nautilus as a future winner back in April of 2010 when it traded at $3.33. Unfortunately, at that time, my fellow Americans let me down by failing to exercise, which showed up in poor sales of Bowflex and other home gym equipment from NLS. That, in turn, resulted in my NLS pick taking a 50% dive by August of 2011.

As even after that sharp drop I still didn't lose faith that my fellow Americans will eventually wise up and start exercising, I closed my NLS pick on 8/8/11 at 44 CAPS-points loss, and re-opened it the same day at $1.75 (looking for a better "entry" point, that is, looking to gain more CAPS points that way).

No, your initial thought is not correct.No, I'm not a gym rat or an exercise freak who has a Bowflex in his living room (so I can watch Dancing With The Stars while I exercise). Nope. Not even close.

I never believed the company that makes Bowflex and other gym / exercise equipment would be a good investment idea.But..., my eleven twenty-one method is telling me there is a very good chance of Nautilus being a nice, healthy winner at today's $3 levels.

OK, let's now see if there is enough people in this country getting their butt back in shape...

Today, my (second) NLS CAPS pick is up by 340 points (NLS has returned 380% since then), and my original NLS pick would be up by approx. 100 points, if I haven't closed it. Long story short, I wanted to congratulate to my fellow Americans for choosing a better and healthier life style.

p.s.Watch for McDonald's stock to start dropping now...

Dragon I cooked ~~ charcoaled up some veal chops and some other veal cuts along with a porterhouse and a young small rack of lamb...

It was my first time using charcoal.. thought I screwed it up but oh my gosh everything was so delicious and had this distinct smoked wood flavour, even on the parts of the lamb that looked like it got burnt to H E double hockey sticks ~~ tasted so delicious ? looked burnt but didn't taste like it was burnt ? it tasted as if magical flavours molecules drifted down from heaven to coat my meat...

The only thing I have left over is part of the porterhouse and it still tastes awesome even eating it cold straight from the fridge.

I didn't use any lighter fluid, instead I used a chimney starter to light up my charcoal ~ I used the really cheap 5.99 for 16 pounds of supposedly natural charcoal manufactured locally.

Honestly I bought that charcoal from Home depot it was the only $$ I bothered to spend with them, I can't wait to try the all natural cowboy lump charcoal that I bought from meijers they have all strange shapes and i'm told it should cook even better than those brickets...

Just have to master the lighting and spreading.

I had to supplement and add chunks of wood that I bought from meijers because the charcoal called embers that I bought seemed like they didn't produce enough heat ? anyways I managed to still get my grill on and I still have left over chunks of wood and coal for my next cook out ;)

Theres something about cooking over a natural flame from wood that cannot be replicated...

I can't wait to taste what chicken and ribs are gonna taste like on my new charcoal grill..
